During my break, I had an opportunity to reflect on what I truly wanted from my education and career. I entered federal government service which lead me to return to college with a renewed sense of purpose and direction for a job as a case manager. I learned it was okay not to have everything figured out from the start and that life is filled with detours which are so important. My experience gave me insight that taking care of my mental and emotional well-being is the basis to achieving any kind of success. Once I returned to my studies, I has a greater sense of confidence, a clearer vision for my career path and future.
